From the Washington Post comes the type of three examples and an anecdote reporting I can live with.
Way back in June three nonsequential children visited a Washinton, D.C. area doctor, with complaints of “suffering from headaches for two or three days”.
Upon further investigation the doctor learned that the independent variable in all this was the newest Harry Potter book. The doctor sprang into action:
“The presumed diagnosis for each child was a tension headache brought on by the effort required to plow through an 870-page book. The obvious cure for this malady — that is, taking a break from reading — was rejected by two of the patients, who preferred acetaminophen instead,” Bennett wrote, referring to the painkiller sold as Tylenol and other brand names.
Truly a modern problem that requires the utmost vigilance on the part of society as a whole. We can beat this thing, but were gonna have to work together to do it.
